I heart Dr. July. I've had a very smooth recovery except where I pushed myself too hard. :) And while I'm stalled right now, I just discovered I'm down 4 pants sizes since January, three since the sleeve! :D

Me too!!!

I'm doing amazing actually! I'm almost 6 months post op. I'm at 158 now, so I'm 1 pound away from 100 pound loss! I'm so grateful for everything I've experienced so far. Lately I've had a little bit of problems swallowing so I'm getting a camera put down my throat to check to make sure everything looks the way it should but other than that I'm doing amazing! I hope all is well with everyone!!! post-262421-14586262302323_thumb.jpg

Omg!!!! You look absolutely amazing!!!! Congratulations to you! What an inspiration. You'll have to update after your endoscopy. Do you think you have a stricture? What are you eating daily? Are you sticking to three small meals?

Congratulations on the weightloss. What an accomplishment. What I'd your ultimate goal?

You ladies have given me so much excitement and motivation. I know I've made the right choice. Either of you have instagram? Seems like the Minnesota thread is pretty dead. I don't want to loose communication.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
